ORDER The court held a status conference in the above-captioned case on June 13, 2006. As discussed with the parties during the conference, defendant shall file its answer to the complaint on or before Wednesday, July 5, 2006 (the clerk's office is closed for receipt of filings on July 3 and 4, 2006). Document exchange shall be completed on or before Tuesday, September 5, 2006. The parties shall confer with each other and file a joint status report on or before Thursday, September 7, 2006, addressing the completion of document exchange and settlement possibilities, and, if settlement is not likely, the parties shall propose a schedule, with dates, for resolution of the case.

This order will be filed electronically, however, the clerk's office also shall MAIL this order to plaintiff's counsel, this one time. Future orders will not be mailed, but will be filed electronically only. IT IS SO ORDERED.
